Knitted [metal] armor

Shikmona started in the Late Canaanite ERA [15 th cen BCE] and findings go up to the early Muslim Era [7th cent CE]. It had an Egyptian , Pesian , Helenestic Roman etc,,, periods In the Byzantine Era 4th -7th cent CE and than it was destroyed by the Muslim conquest [638 CE] Christian travelers went through it and mentionin their writing , and there are even some Christian burials , but no Strong hold [ maybe they will find it ] BUt you have to remember that it had a Crisdaers Castel to the South ATLIT , and a HUGE Crusaders Settlement in Akko [Acre] , on the noethern side of Haifa Bay ... The armor i saw belonged to another Exhibition , about PIRATES ,,, in the same museum . mirjam

This paragraph is the one I'm most curious about.

What Crusader places did you dig in where you found a rusted falling apart piece of armor made with one cotinuous metal thread looped together like interlocking two metal springs?

Do you remember more about the pirate armor - such as how old it was, where it came from?

Tamar i see my post didn`t come through ?????????? In the 1960-1 + test digs were made in Akko [ Acre] in the `Knights Halls`. Students were invited to join. i sieved out only some dirty coins and nails, Workers found the armor parts and our proffessor explained to us how they were made .

Sorry , no , we came for the Antique opening and only Glitched in to look at the Pirate exhibition , but i can ask ,,,,,, or try to see if you can see anything on the site ,, The National Maritime Museum HAIFA >

No sorry but i can ask for more information ,.,,, mirjam
